There exists already an svg2glif, but for some reason not the opposite operation. My MFEKglif editor treats .glif files as first-class entities, so it seemed obvious to me I'd want to edit them with Inkscape, etc sometimes.
I originally wrote this in Python (ctrlcctrlv/glif2svg) but it was too slow for the huge amount I was using it in FRBAmericanCursive's build. So, I ported it to Rust. Also, I decided to make it part of the MFEK suite of programs, since it heavily relies on MFEK libaries like glifparser and mfek-ipc.
glif2svg 1.0.0
Fredrick R. Brennan <copypasteⒶkittens⊙ph>; MFEK Authors
Convert between glif to SVG
USAGE:
glif2svg [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <input>
FLAGS:
-B, --no-viewbox Don't put viewBox in SVG
-M, --no-metrics Don't consider glif's height/width when writing SVG, use minx/maxx/miny/maxy
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-o, --output <output_file> The path to the output file. If not provided, or `-`, stdout.
-F, --fontinfo <fontinfo> fontinfo file (for metrics, should point to fontinfo.plist path if you are using an
unparented glif, a glif not in a parent UFO font)
-p, --precision <precision> Float precision [default: 6]
ARGS:
<input> The path to the input file.
This is a normal Rust build; however the final binary will expect you to have MFEKmetadata in your path as well.
